[Leica] international shoot a roll of film day

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Right; and it's a beautiful, fun and useful thing to have:
4x5, 5x7 and split slides for 2 - 4x10, 2 - 5x8 or 4 - 4x5 on the  
Deardorf.
and
6x9 roll back for the 4x5 Technika

as always - the photograph made with whatever format - remains the  
point and the challenge
